2.0 out of 5 stars I don't like it because ..., May 4, 2006

This review is from: Network Management: Principles and Practice (Paperback)

I bought this book with great hope. I have spent the past 12 odd years of my career working on various networking protocols. But, I had never worked on network management systems. I figured I could use a good book about network management. Looking at the TOC and the author's info (the author teaches at GaTech), I figured I wouldn't go wrong if I read this book.

The author definitely covers a lot of ground. The emphasis is squarely on SNMP based systems. The author also has some decent discussion about EMS/NMS, event-correlation, commercial and open-source management systems, etc.

So, why am I giving it 2*-s? I didn't like the book because it is very hard to read. The sentences are very difficult to read and understand. You have to make a big effort to figure out what the author is saying and even then, it's not easy. I am hoping the author and the editors simplify the language of the book and update some of the content in the next edition. So, my suggestion would be: wait till the next edition if you can, else, be ready to put in a lot of time into reading this book.

This review is from: Network Management: Principles and Practice (Paperback)

This is a good book to buy that covers the topic of NM. It is packed with examples and useful information and references. It covers the old standards and it shows how the standard has progress over the years. The references are great also; b/c there is so much to say about this topic.
I liked it, use it to this day for reference...
